This example uses a data layer to dynamically change the appearance of some KML feature objects when the user hovers over or clicks them.
Read the documentation.
var map; function initMap() { map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 4, center: {lat: -28, lng: 137} }); // Load GeoJSON. map.data.loadGeoJson( 'https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/google.json'); // Color each letter gray. Change the color when the isColorful property // is set to true. map.data.setStyle(function(feature) { var color = 'gray'; if (feature.getProperty('isColorful')) { color = feature.getProperty('color'); } return /** @type {!google.maps.Data.StyleOptions} */({ fillColor: color, strokeColor: color, strokeWeight: 2 }); }); // When the user clicks, set 'isColorful', changing the color of the letters. map.data.addListener('click', function(event) { event.feature.setProperty('isColorful', true); }); // When the user hovers, tempt them to click by outlining the letters. // Call revertStyle() to remove all overrides. This will use the style rules // defined in the function passed to setStyle() map.data.addListener('mouseover', function(event) { map.data.revertStyle(); map.data.overrideStyle(event.feature, {strokeWeight: 8}); }); map.data.addListener('mouseout', function(event) { map.data.revertStyle(); }); }
